Based on the previous literature, the vehicle routing problem with time windows is considered in this paper. Here a hybrid algorithm for the proposed problem is designed to minimize the vehicle number and total travel distance. Performances are compared with other heuristics that appeared in the literature recently by the bench-mark data sets. The computational results show the proposed approaches produce high quality results within a reasonable computing time.
